If you have the stock setup you can use the ballast, not sure if you need the D2S or D2R bulbs. You can PM bluelex and ask him about his as he just had this done. What I did was buy some stock halogen headlights and use those for the retrofit, that way when I sell the car I can sell the retrofit headlights and put the stock headlights back on.

Hey Dallas, like I said in my pm but I couldn't remember the exact name. The link that J gave above is where I got mine done at. Now that he is a CL approved vendor we're allowed to talk about it,him, and his work. Good luck to you.
blue, did you purchase the projectors through him or did you get them seperately and he put them in for you?
i see that you can order the reotrofits on his site and i just want to know the quality of the projector.
my friend ordered a pair of Q45 retro's after seeing mine but they ended up being really bad quality and they barely lit anything up on the streets.
being a clublexus sponsor, i know he'll have some really great qualtiy stuff, and i'm going to order the halo rings from him since i see that the GS, SC, and RX ones are coming in later september.
but i also need my projectors re-done and I also want to place projectors in the DRL spots and have the halos placed on also...

[QUOTE=UptownGS]contact Justin aka LCA575, he did mine and I consider him the resident headlight specialist. From all the work he's been doing, I feel he's very detailed and his quality it awesome!
I too had mine done through LCA575, unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed with the attention to detail and quality of work. Don't want to hi-jack this thread...so I'll leave it at that.

just wondering but where is he getting the OEM Q45 projectors from?
i see that you can order a pair of projectors from his site but i was wondering how he gets them... because from before, the projectors used to be difficult to get.. and ebay was one of the only ways to get it... and now you can get it straight from him...
i was just wondering if these projectors are the copy projectors.
